* Over 1,200 Jews from Vienna, Berlin, Danzig and former Czechoslovakia, escaping the Nazis, tried in 1939 to reach Palestine via the Danube. Their trip ended in the Serbian Danube-port of Kladovo due to organizational difficulties. From here the refugees were relocated in Sabac, from where they expected to continue their journey, but their hope for rescue was diminished after the Nazi invasion to Yugoslavia in April 1941.
As atonement for a partisan attack, all Jewish men from the Kladovo transport were murdered in Sabac by units of the Nazi army on October 12-13, 1941. The remaining Jewish women and children were taken to the newly erected concentration camp of Sajmiste, a suburb of Belgrade, where they where murdered by the SS. Commander of the camp was the Austrian SS-Untersturmführer Herbert Andorfer who was responsible for the murder in gas vans of approximately 7,500 Jewish prisoners, mostly women, up to May 1942. |
